Dear Reader,
I want to know if AlwaysOn Availability can work in below scenario:
2 Servers running windows 2012 with failover cluster service configured for clustering (Node1, Node2, cluster Name: SQL.
- 1<sup>st</sup> instance which is default instance “MSSQLSERVER” is configured in Active /Passive Mode (it is active on node1)
- 2<sup>nd</sup> instance which is named instance “MSSQLSCOM” with static port is configured for Active /Passive (it is active on node1)
- 3<sup>rd</sup> instance which is named instance “MSSQLAlwaysOn” with dynamic port is configured for Active /Passive (it is active on node2)
I configured the Initial Synchronize folder share with R/W permission for SQL Service Account on Node1 (\\Node1\IniDataSync)
I want to make the database on MSSQLSCOM instance available on MSSQLAlwaysON instance but I am getting error while validation, so is this supported configurations?
Error am getting:
